I hope "cranked up" was a pun
You're conflating MAU with economic relevance. The overwhelming majority of ChatGPT users are brokies on the free tier who use it for simple questions, like their homework assignments or relationship advice.
Anthropic, by contrast, is about to release a model so powerful that Scott Bessent an Jay Powell convened an emergency meeting just a few hours ago with the CEOs of America's biggest banks. They are forming contingency plans for the effects Mythos is going to have on the financial markets. Anthropic is also far more consequential to the job market since it's the biggest and most sophisticated player in the B2B space. And of course, Anthropic has a higher ARR than OpenAI.
Politics really is a substitute for religion in America
It's funny how he has become the face of AI amongst low-information luddites, while Dario and Demis are under the radar.
This is unadulterated cope.
America has 40% more traffic fatalities per km driven than the European Union and has less stringent emissions standards (especially for the Hilux's category, which is actually why giant SUVs became so popular over the years).
The US government doesn't even bother with these spurious pretexts anymore. They openly admit that they want to coddle local automakers to ensure that the government has a supply chain of transportation vehicles in wartime. It's quite literally socialism for the entire American auto sector.
That overstates it a bit. Yeah, it's mostly vibe-coded and the main dev has publicly said he has yet to review the reported vulnerabilities. I am aware that it can be easily pwned with prompt injection from its data sources.
I'm running it on my old Mac mini right now and I have not given it access to untrusted inputs like my email inbox. It only has access to my filesystem (synced to my laptop with Syncthing), local applications like Apple Reminders, and OpenRouter. I already find it useful for augmenting web searches with stuff that's in my Obsidian vault.
He can threaten to kill pregnant women on public transit with impunity until a based hero named Daniel Penny does society a favour. And then self-hating white people try to prosecute the hero because they cling to patently false narratives of "systemic racism", probably because it has now become their group identity.
“Today, Apple is proud to report a remarkable, record-breaking quarter, with revenue of $143.8 billion, up 16 percent from a year ago and well above our expectations,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “iPhone had its best-ever quarter driven by unprecedented demand, with all-time records across every geographic segment, and Services also achieved an all-time revenue record, up 14 percent from a year ago. We are also excited to announce that our installed base now has more than 2.5 billion active devices, which is a testament to incredible customer satisfaction for the very best products and services in the world.”

I disagree. Samsung Notes has always been more useful and better designed than Google Keep, especially the way it works with the S-pen. GoodLock makes it possible to customize your Galaxy phone in ways that are impossible even with developer mode on the Pixel series.
That was my intended point. He admitted that the law enforcement officers were all Hispanic yet he still felt compelled to slyly slip in the race card.
> He wondered if his brown skin was part of the equation.
> Bravo noted that all of the law enforcement officers that day were Hispanic.
It's called "we do a little bit of concern trolling".
It's certainly easier than setting up and maintaining a VPS and probably less expensive for most users, but your data is not private. Cloudflare can always read everything that goes through Moltworker and its attached storage.
Hosting Moltbot on your own hardware reigns supreme.
The host actually gets RAM back after bursty workloads in the container thanks to memory ballooning. Containers also start up to 5x faster and `npm install` is also much faster because OrbStack uses macOS-specific APIs as much as possible.
Dagger has been a godsend in helping me cope with the unending misery that is GitHub Actions. A big thanks to you and the whole team at Dagger for making this possible.
The vast majority of "likers" have never been real people in any case. All of the prominent accounts are boosted by bots and Mechanical Turk users in economically underdeveloped countries. This has been shown numerous times by comparing the likes/impressions ratios for different accounts posting similar content.
Anecdotally, I have been 'liking' (as a verb) posts about 3x more after anonymity went into effect. I used to be anonymous on X until I started meeting people at IRL events and then had to be more cautious about what I broadcast to my network. Anonymized likes gave me back a lot of that freedom.
> I wonder what the top Republican leaders honestly think about these foreseeable outcomes
It doesn't matter what they think. Trump's message resonates with the electorate much more effectively than theirs, partly because of his political brand and partly because he has a network of social media acolytes who broadcast his messaging to each segment and demographic. It's a positive feedback loop wherein anyone who dares to go off-message or criticize his decisions gets instantaneous blowback from the MAGA audience themselves, so they quickly recalibrate. At this point, Trump has built a metaphorical tower of skulls of political foes within the party (e.g. Marjorie Taylor Greene).
You could at least link to a Satania pic
Cars are almost a niche form factor at this point (sadly). The Mercedes-Benz GLS vastly outsells the S-class, and the same holds true for the BMW X7 vs. 7-series.
Obsidian still does not support iOS widgets. I use the app, but it's honestly still a major annoyance, since I cannot add to-dos with one swipe as I would be able to do with Apple Notes.
For decades, people have been able to change the temperature in their vehicles in less time and without taking their eyes off the road. Why defend an obvious regression?
Tesla fans sung the praises of other stupid ideas like the Highland's indicator buttons and the Plaid's 'yoke', both of which were silently shelved after buyer dissatisfaction.
The same way you're able to touch-type
Generally sound advice, if elementary.
However, making money is not an engineering problem. My previous employer 5x’ed their revenue with a largely feature-complete Rails application by hiring a kick-ass marketing team and actually looking at the usage analytics to tweak small things like form structure, the on-boarding flow, etc. The system design solves problems like scaling performance, avoiding tech debt, scaling headcount (microservices let multiple teams work on the code in parallel), and providing resilience, all of which have business value that is harder to quantify as easily.
THE open source AI code editor? Are they pretending that Zed does not exist?
Joke's on you; I used an LLM summary to turn that coal into a gem.
The term originated on 4chan before the advent of mass AI-generated content. Only the normified definition of the word means "LLM-generated content I don't like".
Yeah, well, I'm tired of luddites like OP. If you want to stick your head in the sand and persuade yourself that the tsunami isn't already upon us, go do it in a private Discord channel instead of whining publicly.
Trust me, your situation is more common than not. Having been an IC for most of my career and then a manager and back to being an IC again, I can say that OP is way off base. Managers are incentivized to make sure that their reports can grow and can be promoted. When I was a manager, all my colleagues were perpetually diligent about making sure that we were fostering a great working environment for everyone.
